ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
During the business requirements phase of a new cloud-based health-care claims platform, the security architect has documented stakeholder objectives, regulatory drivers such as HIPAA, and target availability metrics. Before the project proceeds to high-level design, which additional action best aligns with secure SDLC practices to translate business goals into concrete security requirements?
Provision and baseline hardened container images for the microservices that will host the application
Run static application security testing (SAST) on the initial code repository to detect early defects
Perform a data classification and categorization exercise to determine the sensitivity of all information the platform will store and process
Draft detailed abuse-case test scripts for the application's anticipated attack vectors
In the business requirements (or initiation) phase, the security team must understand the sensitivity of information the application will handle so that confidentiality, integrity, and availability controls can be defined. Performing data classification and categorization provides the basis for requirements such as encryption, key management, and access controls. Activities like threat modeling, static code analysis, and container hardening occur later-after requirements are set or once code and architecture artifacts exist.
